★ "A refreshing take on the vampire romance."-Publishers Weekly, Starred

Are you up to your neck in bloodsucking vampire stories?

Tired of those tales about dentally enhanced dark lords?

Before I wrote this book I thought all vampires were night-stalking, fangpopping, bloodsucking fiends. Then I met Morning McCobb. He's a vegan vampire who drinks a soy-blood substitute called Blood Lite. He believes staking should be a hate crime. And someday he hopes to march in a Vampire Pride Parade. He was also the first vampire to out himself and try to show people of mortality, like you and me, that vampires are just another minority with special needs. Trust me-this is like no other vampire book you'll ever feed on.

So, as my buddy Morning says, "Pop the lid, and suck it up."

"Appealing characters and an original vampire world. Delightful for those who like their romance vaguely paranormal, their adventure romantic and their vampires defanged."-Kirkus Reviews

"A flawed and affable protagonist . . . snarky humor, outsider-looking-in perspective, and fresh new takes on the familiar."-School Library Journal

    Didn't quite make my top ten list.

    I just finished reading this book. Of course, it's about vampires. There my obsession. But, back to the point. I know enough now that vampires in the Twilight Saga are the only ones of their kind. No other vampires in any other book can match up or be compared! The title is promising, but I can't really recommend this book to any Twilighter's, because i KNOW you will be disappointed. I know I was ! To begin, they're two different types of vampires. Loners, and Leaguers. Leaguers are former Loners, who have chosen an alternative way of life rather than human blood. Loners are those who still drink human blood. All vampires start out as Loners, and if you choose, than you can enter a program called IVLeague. This is a ten-month educational program that entitles you to become a Leaguer. The star is a boy named Morning McCobb. As a newly graduated Leaguer, he is sent on a mission to become to world's first vampire to make his appearance. A real vampire, at least. This is a book about Morning's adventures and struggles of maintaing his bloodlust, becoming the world's first REAL vampire, and maybe even find love.
